I couldn't choose....even if I listed a top 40 I'd still be omitting many favorites....but I'll try to list Favorite Dark Stars....By Month:

JANUARY - 1/2/70 - also 1/17/70
FEBRUARY - 2/24/74 - runners-up 2/22/69, 2/2/70, 2/26/73
MARCH - 3/28/69 - runner-up 3/28/73, & in the rear 3/23/72
APRIL - a four-way tie! 4/8/72, 4/14/72, 4/24/72, 4/29/72 - but wait, '69 is also throwing some strong punches with 4/22/69 and 4/27/69, among many others - not to mention any other year....
MAY - 5/25/72 - runners-up 5/31/69, 5/11/72
JUNE - 6/27/69
JULY - 7/18/72 - runners-up 7/7/69, 7/31/71
AUGUST - 8/30/69 - runners-up 8/23/68, 8/24/72
SEPTEMBER - fall has the heavy-hitting Dark Star months, so I'll do these chronologically: 9/2/68, 9/17+19/70, 9/21/72, 9/11/73, 9/10/74 - runners-up: any from Sept '72
OCTOBER - 10/12+20/68, 10/25/69, 10/24+31/71, 10/18+28/72, 10/19+30/73, 10/18/74
NOVEMBER - 11/1/68, 11/2+8/69, 11/5+8/70, 11/15/71, 11/13/72, 11/11/73
DECEMBER - 12/7/68, 12/4+26/69, 12/5+15/71, 12/11+15/72, 12/6/73

Well, that's over 50 Stars and there are still others I'd like to add, or have overlooked, but I have to stop somewhere....
